Central AC: Lessons from The Fonz

When it comes to keeping cool, central air conditioning can be ideal for your home. But when it comes to being cool, no one brings it home like The Fonz. The guy made the jukebox play his favorite tune with the side of his fist!

The history of cool goes something like this. Since humans began, we’ve focused more on staying warm. Sure there were hand-held fans, servants with fans and, well towels with cool water. Not until electricity was available to the masses did our concern about cool take hold. And so did TV. It wasn’t until the debut of Happy Days on January 15, 1974 that we really knew how to be cool. Aaaaeeeyyy!

Got an old AC unit? Purchase a new, high-efficiency air conditioner, have it installed by an Xcel Energy registered contractor, get and submit your rebate application and you could pocket up to $450 in your Levi’s®. So go ahead and buy that leather motorcycle jacket you’ve always wanted!

Happy Days was influenced by the George Lucas film American Graffiti staring Ron Howard (Richie Cunningham). The show ran 11 seasons and gave birth to Joanie Loves Chachi, Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy. Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli brought cool into millions of households and central AC can do the same for your home!
